What Will A Stock Market Corrections Look Like For CRE? - E1134 - CFC Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

If the stock market takes a dive… what really happens to commercial real estate?

That’s exactly what I asked Jeremy Roll — one of the most respected passive investors in the country — in this new episode.

We dug into what he's seeing right now in the data, and why he thinks the next 6–9 months could be the tipping point…

Inside, you’ll hear:

Why retail services are flashing Great Recession-style warnings
How a softening job market is triggering consumer fear
The one chart that has Jeremy certain we’re headed for a downturn
What that means for multifamily pricing and LP capital
And the 3 “domino effects” that crush real estate valuations

Plus, we debate whether timing the market is a real strategy… and when Jeremy might finally get off the sidelines.

This is one of the most important macro episodes we’ve done all year.

Take Control,
Hunter Thompson

Why We Went All-In On Phoenix Mulitfamily - E1130 - CFC Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

Most operators are still chasing diversification…

But we’re doing the opposite.

In this episode, I sat down with Tyler Lyons, my business partner at Asym Capital, to explain why we’ve gone all-in on Phoenix multifamily and literally moved our families across the country to prove it.

We reveal the data, market signals, and overlooked fundamentals that led us to bet our careers (and personal capital) on this thesis.

In today’s episode, we break down:

Why Phoenix offers a unique “base hit” strategy with asymmetric upside
The structural advantages that make this market incredibly operator-friendly
The exact property we’re buying at a 38% discount to 2022 pricing
Why now might be the best buying opportunity in multifamily since 2009
How our hyper-local approach gives us an execution edge most firms miss

This isn’t a theory episode.

It’s a playbook from operators who’ve done 60+ real estate deals, and are doubling down while others wait on the sidelines.

If you're a serious investor looking to understand where the smart money is going next…

Listen to the episode now.
